It’s hard to find someone in western Pennsylvania who hasn’t been to the McKeever Center or know someone who has, whether it was their child participating in one of our school programs, a teacher attending a workshop, or someone who participated in one of our public programs. Since 1974, McKeever has worked with thousands of school age students each school year. In the center’s 38-year history, that’s over 150,000 students. During this same time, thousands of people have spent time at the center, either going through a workshop, public program, class/family reunion, and church outing or other function, representing another 150,000 people.

If you spent time at the McKeever Center, perhaps you might be interested in supporting the center. As was mentioned in earlier newsletters, McKeever lost its annual state budget and saw a reduction in its other source of funding. We are faced with a number of capital improvements projects. One of our immediate needs is new showers in the three lodges. Other items on our list include a new floor covering for the auditorium foyer, new sliding glass doors in all three lodges and new windows in the residence.
